Free Community-based Tax-Aide

AARP (at the Library)

Starting January 20th, you may book an appointment for AARP Tax-Aide by calling or visiting the Info Desk. Booking is required as walk-ins are not permitted under any circumstances.

Appointments run from February 6th to April 3rd every Thursday.

Appointments are no longer available. Very few appointments remain. We do not recommend only applying to our waitlist, as there is no guarantee an appointment can be made available. Waitlist can also be very short notice (as short as one hour). Please check other AARP sites along with other free tax aide programs from Triton College’s RSVP, College of Dupage and LadderUp’s TAP.
